[Intro]

I don't mind

Take your time

Live your life

You're free

Yo


[Verse 1]

I'm under influence, but they can never influence me

Damn, we did a lot of crime in our innocence

Feel like I'm runnin' out of time when I feel and shit

I got this trauma on my mind when we chill and shit

Be all, "How I wish that they would listen too"

Busy at the cells, we ain't get no job interviews

It's crazy, I seen a couple niggas with a mill' or two

Huh, yeah, I could've backstabbed and been a winner too, but that ain't me

We was sellin' grubba off a Blackberry

And when that fеll apart, it's robberies and battery

Thеy see the black in me, they're tryna le tit slap at me

And, they say the, "Good die young," I say, "It's fallacy"

Either die or survive in this canopy

Sell some cannabis, invest in a wap, or three

I guess the poor die young, we can all agree

'Cause these teeth are pricey but you get slapped for free

And how a white man preach Black History?

It got me tryna find where the difference be

Between the system tryin' to imprison me

Just like my ancestors, so how we claim to be free?

And we don't spit the same, nigga, how you claim to be me?

They knew I'd make it out 'cause of the way that I speak

She knows I'm paranoid 'cause of the way that I sleep

And everybody knows my value, I ain't never been cheap


[Chorus]

I don't mind—

That you ain't got it yet, but, Louis, I don't like the way you—

Live your life

I'll always be there for you, you ain't gotta worry, so, just—

Take your time

You're free


[Verse 2]

I came up on Nina, I came up on mover

As a schooler hearin' 'bout movies

Meetin' a shooter and seein' the future

Then it got too dark, re'ing up on a new light

Money got too tight, you know how to shoot, right?

I been in a few fights and spared a few lives 'cause I don't do pride

But, my niggas do ride

So if you violate, better think twice

Two guys, .38, make it spin twice

And that's a upper-body bullet if the wind right

It ain't cool, that shit got my nigga doin' life

So if you wanna hustle, boy, you better do it right

I can't grind with him 'cause the high all the time

And we was really gettin' busy on the border, she like—


[Chorus]

I don't mind—

That you ain't got it yet, but, Louis, I don't like the way you—

Live your life

I'll always be there for you, you ain't gotta worry, so, just—

Take your time

You're free


[Outro]

I don't mind

Take your time

Live your life

You're free
